I had Matt’s El Rancho for the first time recommended by a couple coworkers. I preferred the half lb sizzling fajitas which was pretty good. Surprisingly the chicken was better than the beef fajitas where in my experience it’s typically the opposite. Most of my coworkers ordered the enchiladas which
We dined-in on a Sunday morning. They don't let you reserve a table ahead but it was a quick 10 min wait.
The server was very sweet and responsive. Food was fresh and high quality.
They have clearly marked Vegetarian options but they don't have a lot of options.

I can not believe I have lived here since 1994 and did not know about this amazing GEM! The food was just beyond delicious, dare I say better than mom's... Do yourself a favor. Go eat here. Located on S. Lamar, where there's so much to do and see, the crowd was diverse, and everywhere you looked, th
This TEX-MEX classic done well a couple of vegan choices and my flexitarian partner assures me the nachos with chicken Al carbon are excellent. Vegan fajitas really good grilled veg. The ambience is good I stopped and helped sing Happy Birthday to a grandmother the parking easy
Terrific experience. Menu has an abundance of tempting choices. Food was lovingly prepared by a kitchen of craftspeople, delivered by top notch servers and runners. The ambiance, to me, felt nostalgic reminding me a bit of the fancier Mexican restaurants growing up in Texas ~ 50 years ago, yet di
The best seat in the house is on the patio - it is next to the fish pond in the far back right hand side. A perfect table for one or two. The view is outstanding and it is perfectly in the path of the misting fan.
Matt’s has been an Austin Tex-Mex icon for over 70 years. The Bob Armstrong Dip is ex
Delicious food, as always! It had been a while since I last ate here, but I was as pleased to discover that the food and ambience was as good as ever. The guacamole was flavorful and creamy, perfect texture. The chips were crispy and stood up to the salsa and guacamole. The brisket taco accompanied
Best steak fajitas I ever had. Went for lunch. Very reasonable. I also had a cup of tortilla soup which on a chilly rainy day was perfect. I really enjoyed Matt’s.
Came during prime dinner time at 6 PM and they got us in right away! We sat outside, but it was shaded, and the sun was starting to set behind the trees. They also had mist fans on the tables that were not under the shade. We ordered queso and a margarita so were good to go. The servers were very at
Not only the best Mexican restaurant in Austin, probably the best restaurant in Austin!! I've been going for 30 years and every single time everything is just right. The service, the atmosphere, the drinks, and the food. Always on point. A 70 plus year old Austin institution, and a must go for local
We had a party of 7 and were seated after a 30 minute wait on a Saturday night...pretty good! The food was fresh and tasty, drinks were fabulous, and service top notch. Great place to visit. Only criticism was the restaurant was warm and a but loud.
Fun and very popular texmex eatery in Austin. The food was good, the service was fast and attentive. Very popular place and much larger than I expected.
What can I say, this place might just live up the the hype. For the most part!
First let me say this place is busy! The parking lot is huge and people even park up on the grass to get in. Don’t let that intimidate you! They also don’t take reservations, so yeah you might be waiting to be seated at
